Irrigation Inspections

Irrigation Inspections in Chesterfield & St. Louis County, MO


On average, irrigation systems in Chesterfield and St. Louis County run 150–200 days per year. That kind of pressure wears down moving parts and connectors, which is why periodic inspections are so important. Failures can happen at any time, and proactive inspections help catch issues before they become costly problems.

Dowco’s irrigation inspections are ideal for property owners in Chesterfield, St. Louis County, and the surrounding areas who don’t have the time or knowledge to modify their sprinkler systems as the seasons change. We offer these inspections at a discounted rate to encourage proactive water management and system care.

Springtime in St. Louis brings cool weather, moderate rainfall, and about 12 hours of sunlight each day.

By summer, days stretch to nearly 15 hours of sun, with temperatures in the high 80s, 90s, and sometimes over 100 degrees. During this time, it’s critical that your irrigation system waters at the right times of day to prevent water loss from evaporation.

The spring showers quickly fade, making early summer the first key time for an inspection. At this point, Dowco’s irrigation specialists walk through your system and check every head to confirm it is covering the right areas—not the street, sidewalk, driveway, or your neighbor’s yard.

Dowco’s Irrigation Inspection Service Includes:

  • Adjusting cycle times to match seasonal weather changes
  • Walking the entire system and checking all sprinkler heads for proper coverage
  • Identifying sprinkler system malfunctions or failures
  • Spotting overly dry or wet areas in the lawn or landscape
  • Unclogging rotating heads or nozzles when needed
  • Providing a recap of the system with recommendations for repair or enhancement

The Irrigation Inspection Process


For the inspection, you’ll need to be home so our technician can access the control timer (usually in the garage). We encourage clients to walk the system with us during the visit—this allows us to review needed repairs and discuss ways to optimize water use and plant health.

When fall weather arrives and temperatures cool, we’ll want to make sure the system isn’t over-watering. This not only saves money but also conserves water, making your system fiscally and environmentally responsible. This is when we schedule the next inspection.

Dowco provides irrigation inspections at a discounted rate as a way to reward our proactive clients!

After each inspection, we’ll provide a full recap and professional recommendations to keep your system performing at its best year-round.

Your irrigation system should be inspected between startup and shutdown. Schedule online!
